If you enjoyed our behind the scenes look at Cirque de Soleil’s production of KOOZA, then you are going to love artiste Vedra Chandler’s exclusive Day in the Life for LLG! Vedra is a singer and dancer from Camden, New Jersey. After graduating from Harvard University with a degree in Government, Vedra pursued a career in […]

Some of you may know that Katie has been one of my assistants on LLG during her years at LCF. She helps out at London Fashion Week, and covers when my EA is away. We met when she was volunteering for OXFAM and was my model for the day on this project (that’s her on the […]

Talented illustrator Clym Evernden kindly sends over some of his wonderful illustrations to LLG each season. Here are three from the Burberry SS14 runway show from yesterday (monday), amongst which are Cara Delevingne (above), and Samantha Cameron in her orange Jonathan Saunders skirt and Natalie Massanet beside her on the front row (below).

Those of you with highly acute memories will remember that Matt Rudd has contributed to this ‘ere blog before. You may also remember that I have referred to him as a ‘friend’. I could of course let slip the information that we met for the very first time when he was an intern at the […]

We are starting a new strand on LLG, where people I know talk about their private passions: the ideas, places and movements that inspire them. As we are starting a new fashion season, I thought the first contribution should be from a designer. So London Fashion Week designer David Koma, whose beautiful collections frequently reference, […]

(Dance partners Colin Salmon and Kristina Rihanoff in action on Strictly Come Dancing 2012) I’ve known the PR team at St Tropez for a long time so, when I’m hopping off somewhere warm, I often pop in to St Tropez HQ for a spray tan by the lovely Jules Heptonstall, their VIP & Celebrity Tanning […]

Meeting commercial strategist, consultant and writer Ceci Guicciardi was the saving grace in a terrible evening (it featured interpretive dance) in Florence last year. Perched on flower tubs in a candle lit courtyard, we talked about how she used her work in luxury brand strategy, commercial development and intellectual property protection as a means to […]

The lovely Suzannah, designer of glorious dresses, worn by everyone from the young Royals to stars of stage and screen and, er, me, is always a joy to talk to. I’ve been in her boutique in West London several times this year, both for fittings and to film for Good Morning America over the Diamond […]

Last night I posted about Vidal Sassoon, and this morning I woke up to a comment from a reader in America, with whom I hadn’t corresponded before. It was her story of visiting the Vidal Sassoon salon in London in the early 70s, and of meeting Vidal himself. It was so wonderful that I immediately […]

When British fashion label Chinti and Parker launched in 2009, I was living in America, taking a sabbatical from the fashion world and what with constant travelling & busy-ness since then, their AW12 press day last month was the first time I got to see the collection in full and to meet the girls behind […]

Baking (& nibbling) chocolate chip cookies for a meeting, using my own recipe from #friendsfoodfamily, which is very, very chocolate-y. (And the dough freezes beautifully which is super handy - I often make a double batch, half now & half for later)

The beautiful set at SHOWstudio for the filmed @Gucci discussion panel I took part in on Weds. (I love the white muscari and narcissi) The edited conversation is now up at SHOWstudio.com Thank you @showstudio_nick_knight
